Ah, seems like commit

commit d4d9eb226e4c2af8ab390bb470477fa68072fa2a

    Merge tag 'configfs-7.4-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leitao/linux

    Pull configfs updates from Breno Leitao:

     - Attribute structures can now be const (Thomas Weißschuh)

pulled it into Linus' branch so it's just a matter of post-poning them until
v7.4-rc1.
